00:00that she had and what her mindset is, how she's going to make the changes.
00:04But yes, people from Wayanad have wished her in abundance.
00:10Many blessings, wishes have come from Wayanad especially.
00:13They are very proud that she's representing them in Parliament.
00:16And yes, it's her birthday, first birthday after being a member of Parliament.
00:21And we are all very proud of her.
00:23And I think it's going to give a lot of strength to
00:27the Congress, Rahul and the nation.
00:31Because all issues that BJP is trying to hide, she will be bringing it up.
00:35I'm very proud about that.
00:37Sir, recently a statement came up from the former BJP MP and the BJP candidate from the
00:44Kalkaji Assembly Conspiracy about Priyanka ji.
00:47So although later he apologized for his statement and withdraws his statement.
00:54So how do you see the statement?
00:56I think, you know, speaking in a derogatory way about women is very harmful.
01:03You know, we must respect the women of our country and all over the nation,
01:07all over the world, if you may.
01:09But definitely his remarks when he was campaigning all over in Delhi.
01:14And I think when people he feels that people are not listening to him,
01:20he has to take the name of somebody from the Gandhi family,
01:23especially the BJP former ministers always do that.
01:26They always use the, you know, somebody from the Gandhi family,
01:31even if it's from Nehru ji till Rahul or even, I'm not in politics,
01:35but they use my name every time there's an election going around.
01:39And yes, he did make very degrading remarks about Priyanka, which was not in good light.
01:46And people of the nation did not like it, you know,
01:50to be using this kind of language about Priyanka.
01:53And definitely Priyanka, I know she laughed it off.
01:56She said, I don't want to have any kind of, you know, comment on this.
02:01But I as a man feel that, you know, respecting women is very important.
02:05And when you are going to be campaigning for a state election,
02:09the capital of our country,
02:10you must talk about the real issues of the state,
02:15what the people want to hear,
02:16not about talking in a incorrect way about women.
02:20You know, BJP talks about, you know, helping women, you know,
02:26safety for women, Beti Bachao, you know, all these things.
02:30These are just mere slogans.
02:32When a minister, a former minister can speak so
02:36in a derogatory way about Priyanka or any other woman, you know,
02:40it just shows that they have been given the mandate that say whatever,
02:45do whatever you have to win.
02:47And then you'll find, I think, their, his mentors,
02:50maybe the prime minister or any other senior minister will come up and,
02:55you know, will say, I do not like the statement that my minister has made
02:59or any other worker of mine has made in BJP.
03:02And I, you know, he should be apologizing.
03:05So they again try to look bigger than the other people
03:09and try and show that I will not stand for this.
03:11But you can already have a mandate in the, in their, you know, party
03:16to not use this kind of foul language or language about any other woman.
03:21And, you know, when they're campaigning,
03:23or the campaigning should be about progress,
03:26what they've done and what they can promise.
03:29And I hope that what they promise, they deliver.
03:32But, sir, how do you see the Congress party?
03:33And because this is a Delhi assembly election,
03:36for the last 10 years, Congress party is out of power.
03:39They have not been able to contest a bonus, win a second seat.
03:42But this time the Congress party is saying that we are
03:47campaigning and coming with a full majority.
03:51Today, Rahul Gandhi will be also addressing a rally in Delhi,
03:54Sri Lankan area.
03:55So what are the aspects you are seeing,
03:57especially when we are saying when the CAG report has just come up on the liquor scam,
04:01saying that there has been a loss of 2000 crore,
04:05almost 2000 crore of the extractors of Delhi,
04:07and it has benefited the Aam Aadmi Party leaders,
04:10or the court has also taken a cognizance of it.
04:13How do you see this?
04:14I feel that, again, I will reiterate that we must campaign and talk about
04:20what is really required in the city, in the capital of our country.
04:24Not only our nation, the people of our nation are looking at the capital,
04:28what happens in the capital,
04:29the whole world looks at what is happening in the capital.
04:32Our main issue is the AQI just keeps on increasing.
04:36You know, so I mean, we are living in a gas chamber.
04:39And by not taking responsibility and keep on shifting,
04:43the blame game goes on.
04:45The citizens of Delhi are really suffering.
04:48So I really feel very strongly about that because I used to be running,
04:52cycling and doing all kinds of activities outdoors,
04:55but I stopped doing that.
04:56And I always tell people not to do that.
04:58My children and everybody.
